Poznan to Wroclaw

[alistairlees]

Does anyone know what type of train operates the Poznan to Wroclaw IC service? And what operates the Polregio service? I'd prefer a loco + coaches as opposed to a Pendolino type train.

Cheers

Here is the consist chart for Poznań station. As you can see, the majority of trains are loco-hauled:

Thanks. That’s really useful and interesting. I had no idea such things existed - could do with these in Britain!

It’s for Wroclaw though, not Poznan.

Also I will be travelling on Saturday 14th September - I see this one only goes up to 31st August.

Really appreciate your help though.

Oop! Sorry, I'm not sure how that happened. Here is Poznań:

There's a timetable change on 01 September, and the new posters won't be out until about that time. There shouldn't be much of a change, though.

Super, thank you for your help.

Vagonweb.cz will be your friend- info for that part of Europe is pretty good, and in my experience has proved accurate then on the day. You can search by train number.

Seems to be quite a significant change in some areas.
I'm planning a trip Warsaw-Krakow-Przemysl (and on to Ukraine) in mid-September and the PKP booking site is warning that times might change from those offered.
I'd really rather not rely on a 10-minute connection between PKP and UZ at Przemysl!

It's excellent, allows you to make sure you get the best coach in a rake of what can be many different types of carriage of varying ages and standard on the same train on the loco hauled stuff, since PKP like to put an assortment of different styles and layouts in one rake to the degree where standard can be a very new carriage with plugs and Wifi and first an old compartment coach without AC or sockets.

Thanks that is indeed an excellent site

Unless something has changed (and I doubt it), all PKP Intercity trains between Poznań-Wrocław are loco+coaches. Polregio operates "whatever the hell they have", but it's usually just EMU's of varying quality, ranging from horrible to reasonable. I've seen the loco+coaches combination on Polregio, but they seem to chop and change with such frequency that it's hard to keep up with whether they're using them on Wrocław-Poznań or not.
